March 27, 2022A year ago today….
We held a rally on Jesup Green to "Stop Asian Hate." We heard from state and local lawmakers voicing their support for the AAPI community. We were moved by the words of local students about their experiences with anti-Asian racism and discrimination in our own town. We were touched by all of our friends and neighbors who showed up to stand with us against a rising tide of violence targeting our AAPI sisters, brothers and elders.
